CHAPTER 1 GENERAL INFORMATION

1-1 INTRODUCTION 1-3 EFFECTIVENESS
This manual is intended for use by qualified marine fire suppression specialists responsible for designing Kidde Fire Systems. Marine Carbon Dioxide Systems aboard USCG inspected vessels. In addition to this manual, the system designer should be familiar with the NFPA Standard No. 12 (Carbon Dioxide Extinguishing Systems, latest edition), CFR Title 46 Shipping, Chapter I, Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular No. 6-72 Guide to Fixed Fire-Fighting Equipment Aboard Merchant Vessels, the rules for the applicable ship classification society (ie: ABS, DNV, ect..) and International Maritime Organization International Maritime Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). Note that SOLAS rules usually apply only to vessels that make international voyages. 1-2 AGENT CHARACTERISTICS
CO2 is an effective agent for Class A (wood, paper, etc.), Class B (flammable liquids and gases), and Class C (electrical equipment) hazards. CO2 must be applied with due consideration to the hazard being protected and its contents. Rapidly developing fires such as those found in engine and pump rooms must be extinguished quickly with CO2 to minimize heat buildup. In contrast, a fire in a cargo hold containing wood or paper is controlled with a slower CO2 discharge and the hold may have to be kept inert for a considerable time to ensure complete extinguishment. Carbon dioxide must not and cannot be used on Class D (reactive metals, metals hydrides and chemicals containing their own oxygen supply) hazards, such as magnesium, potassium, sodium, and cellulose nitrate. These Class D fires can only be controlled by special extinguishing agents and procedures.
! CAUTION
CO2 is a compound of carbon and oxygen. A gas at normal pressures and temperatures, CO2 is colorless, odorless, and electrically non-conductive. It is approximately 50% heavier than air. Primarily, CO2 suppresses fires by reducing the available oxygen in the atmosphere to a point where combustion can no longer take place. Additionally, CO2 provides a secondary desirable cooling effect and leaves no residue. It dissipates into the atmosphere after the discharge, allowing for rapid clean-up and minimal equipment downtime.
! WARNING
IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY The carbon dioxide and nitrogen gases used in these systems are stored in cylinders at extremely high pressures. An uncontrolled release of this high pressure gas from an accidental discharge, improper handling, or damage to parts can result in a violent and rapid propulsion of the cylinder(s), capable of causing severe property damage, personal injury, or death. All the warnings and instructions noted in this manual must be followed for the safe handling, installation, transportation, service and inspection of the cylinders.
Because CO2 reduces the available oxygen in the atmosphere, it will not support life. Care must be taken to ensure all personnel are evacuated from the protected space prior to discharging the system. A suitable warning notice must be prominently displayed in clear view at the point of entry into the protected area to alert personnel of the asphyxiation properties of CO2.

CHAPTER 2 SYSTEM DESIGN

2-1 GENERAL Because of the nature of the fire hazard, no specific discharge rates need be applied to these systems. However, the discharge piping to the various holds and between decks must not be less than 3/4 inch in size. 2-3 2-3.1 ELECTRICAL PROPULSION EQUIPMENT General
USCG CO2 systems provide suitable fire suppression for five distinct categories, depending on the nature of the hazard and the protected space. The categories are: Dry cargo spaces Enclosed ventilation systems for rotating electrical propulsion equipment Machinery spaces, pump rooms, paint lockers, etc. Vehicle cargo spaces Semi-portable hose reels
The CO2 requirements and discharge rates vary, depending on the nature of the protected space, and the gross volume of the compartment. The space must first be identified and assigned into one of the five categories listed above. Once categorized, the required amount of CO2 can be determined, along with discharge rates, pipe sizes, etc. 2-2 2-2.1 DRY CARGO SPACES General
Electrical propulsion equipment fires generally involve Class C combustibles, and can be deep seated in nature. Usually an initial discharge is provided to quickly suppress any surface flames, and an extended discharge is provided to maintain the CO2 concentration until the equipment can be stopped. This type of system generally involves two separate discharge lines and nozzles. On small systems, one common discharge line may be used for both the initial and extended discharge. If the initial discharge is such as to achieve the required concentration until the equipment is stopped, no delayed discharge is necessary. 2-3.2 System Design The amount of CO2 required for the initial discharge can be determined by dividing the gross volume of the system by 10 (for spaces less than 2,000 cubic feet). For spaces equal to or greater than 2,000 cubic feet, divide the gross volume by 12. The initial discharge must be completed within two minutes. The amount of CO2 required for the extended discharge is dependent on the gross volume, the time it takes to stop the equipment, and the amount of air movement in the system. Sufficient CO2 must be provided to maintain a minimum 25% concentration until the equipment can be stopped. Refer to NFPA 12 for guidance as to how the required amount of CO2 is calculated. 2-4 2-4.1 MACHINERY SPACES, PUMP ROOMS, PAINT LOCKERS, ETC. General
Cargo compartment fires generally involve Class A combustibles. The fire will generally start as a slow, smoldering type fire, producing large amounts of smoke. Once sufficient heat has developed, the fire will dramatically increase in intensity. A USCG approved fire detection system should be used to detect the fire while it is still in the smoldering stage. Once a fire has been detected, all openings to the space must be closed. An initial amount of CO2 can then be discharged until a sufficient concentration has been developed to bring the fire under control. With the openings still sealed, additional CO2 can be discharged from time to time to maintain the proper concentration. The space is kept closed until the vessel reaches port. At port, the hold can be opened, the cargo can be removed, and final extinguishment can be accomplished with additional CO2, water, or other agents. 2-2.2 System Design The amount of CO2 required can be determined by dividing the gross volume of the space (in cubic feet) by 30. The cargo space is defined as the volume between watertight or firescreen bulkheads, and from the tank top or lowest deck to the deck head of the uppermost space on which the cargo may be carried. If a trunk extends beyond such deck, the trunk volume must be included in determining the CO2 requirement. All tonnage openings can be considered as sealed for this purpose.
Fires in machinery and similar spaces generally involve Class B combustibles. Contrary to cargo compartments, fires in machinery spaces develop rapidly and can become intense in a short period of time. For this reason, it is critical that CO2 be discharged quickly. Rapid discharge and extinguishment prevents the heat/fire from damaging equipment, bulkheads, and other structural members.

P/N 220610

2-4.2 System Design 2-5.2 System Design The amount of CO2 required for the compartment is equal to the gross volume of the space divided by the appropriate flooding factor shown in Table 2-1. If the flammable liquid can drain or spread to an adjacent space, the sum of the compartment volumes shall be used to determine the required amount of CO2. The system must be arranged to discharge CO2 simultaneously into both compartments. The volume of the machinery space must exclude the normal machinery casing unless the boiler, internal combustion machinery, or fuel oil installations extends into the space. In such an instance, the volume shall include the top of the casing, or the next material reduction in casing area, whichever is lower. The definition of normal machinery casing is a casing the area of which is less than 40% of the maximum area of the machinery space. Material reduction in casing area is defined as a reduction to at least 40% of the casing area. These definitions do not apply to vessels contracted for prior to October 1, 1959. For vessels on an international voyage contracted for after May 26, 1965, the amount of CO2 for a space containing boilers and/or internal combustion machinery used for propulsion must be as follows: Divide the gross volume (excluding the casing) of the space by the appropriate factor referenced in Table 2-1 or divide the entire gross volume (casing included) by a factor of 25, and use the larger of the two amounts. A minimum of 85% of the required amount of CO2 must be discharged in two minutes. Table 2-1. CO2 Flooding Factors
Gross Volume (cu. ft.) 0 - 500 501 - 1,600 1,601 - 4,500 4,501 - 50,000 Greater than 50,000 Flooding Factor (cu. ft./lb.) 15 16 18 20 22
The amount of CO2 required is calculated by dividing the gross volume (in cubic feet) of the largest space by 22. Because of the nature of the fire hazard, 2/3 of the required amount of CO2 must be discharged within 10 minutes. Faster discharge times are permissible. 2-6 2-6.1 HOSE REEL SYSTEMS General
In addition to the previously mentioned fixed type systems, hose reels provide a semi-portable means of discharging CO2 directly onto the burning material. Hose reel systems provide a large volume discharge, much greater than that available from hand-held portable fire extinguishers, and are intended for smaller hazard applications. Personnel evacuation and equipment shutdown may sometimes be avoided by the use of these semi-portable units. The units themselves are generally located within the protected space in an open area, so that all portions of the space may be covered to provide quick response to an emergency. 2-6.2 System Design Sufficient CO2 is provided for at least a one minute discharge. The discharge is controlled by a hose mounted shut-off valve located directly upstream of the hand-held nozzle. The hose, which interconnects the shut-off valve with the reel/rack, is available in various sizes and lengths to meet the hazard requirements. The hose reel and rack are equivalent in terms of effectiveness, although the reel is easier to manipulate. 2-7 EFFECTS OF VENTILATION AND UNCLOSEABLE OPENINGS
The proper control of a fire by a CO2 system depends on the integrity or tightness of the enclosed space. Any agent leakage from the space will reduce the effectiveness of the system. Large leaks or openings will render the system ineffective. In spaces where a ventilation system is installed, the ventilation system must be shutdown prior to the CO2 discharges. This shutdown must be accomplished automatically by the operation of the CO2 system (via pressure operated switches or releases). Complete ventilation shutdown must be accomplished before the CO2 system is discharged. If the ventilation system cannot be shut down, an additional amount of CO2 must be added to compensate for the effects of the loss through the ventilation system. Uncloseable openings in the space will also adversely affect the CO2 system. Depending on the quantity, size, and location of the openings, additional agent will be required. The amount of additional agent and the discharge rate shall be in accordance with NFPA 12. A discharge test is recommended to verify the effectiveness of the CO2 system and the integrity of the protected space.

2-5 2-5.1
VEHICLE CARGO SPACES General
Vehicle cargo (Ro/Ro) space fires generally involve Class A (rubber, plastics, and other ordinary combustibles), Class B (flammable liquids), and to a lesser extent, Class C combustibles. These type fires propagate slowly but become intense and grow rapidly as they progress. Care should be taken to quickly develop and maintain the CO2 concentration for a sufficient period of time to ensure complete extinguishment.
P/N 220610

2-8 CYLINDER SELECTION AND STORAGE 2-10 AUTOMATIC ACTUATION
Once the amount of CO2 has been determined, the next step of the system design process is to determine the appropriate size and quantity of CO2 storage cylinder(s). Refer to Table 2-2 for selection of the appropriate cylinder size. Table 2-2. Cylinder Configurations
Figure Number 4-2 4-2 4-2 4-1 4-1
For spaces requiring no more than 300 lbs. of CO2, the USCG permits the use of automatic actuation. This is accomplished by utilizing a pneumatic detection system. This system employs the rate-of-rise principle. A sudden increase in temperature will cause the system to actuate. Heat actuators are located throughout the hazard, and are interconnected to pneumatic control heads (located on the pilot cylinders) via copper tubing. When the air within the heat actuator becomes heated due to a fire within the protected space the air expands and builds up pressure in the actuator. The pressure is then transmitted through the copper tubing to the pneumatic control heads. When sufficient pressure has built up (the amount ranges from one to six inches of water column), the pneumatic control heads will operate and discharge the system. The pneumatic control heads are fitted with vents, so that slight changes in pressure, due to normal changes in ambient temperature, can be vented to atmosphere. Heat detectors are installed no more than 10 feet from a bulkhead; spacing must not exceed 20 feet, center-to-center, or 400 square feet per detector. The use of more than four detectors will require a mercury check. 2-11 REMOTE-MANUAL ACTUATION

All cylinders on a common manifold must be of the same size. Cylinders should be located as near to the protected space as possible. The cylinders must be located outside the protected space, except for spaces which require no more than 300 lbs. of CO2. Cylinders installed outside the protected space must be in an accessible location to permit manual actuation in the event of fire (without the need to go through any of the protected spaces). The cylinders must be located such that the ambient storage temperature range falls between 0F and 130F. Additional heating or cooling of the space may be required to maintain this temperature range. CO2 cylinders are equipped with a burst disc to relieve excessive pressure within the cylinder. If the cylinders are located adjacent to the protected space, enough heat may be conducted through bulkheads or decks to rupture the burst disc. Should this occur, the CO2 storage room would be filled with agent and little, if any, would be available to extinguish the fire. Therefore, common bulkheads and decks between CO2 storage rooms and protected spaces must be protected with A-60 structural insulation. Cylinders must not be located in any space that might be cut off or made inaccessible in the event of a fire in any of the spaces protected. 2-9 SYSTEM CONTROLS
Remote-manual actuation can be accomplished via cable or pneumatic releases. Cable operated pull boxes are available in various configurations. The pull boxes are connected to the control heads (located on the storage cylinders or stop valves) via 1/16 inch stainless steel cable. Corner pulleys are used to change direction of the cable routing. The cable should be routed in 3/8 inch schedule 40 pipe. The USCG mandates that the maximum force required to operate the pull box may not be greater than 40 pounds, nor require a movement greater than 14 inches. No more than 15 corner pulleys and 100 feet of cable should be used with control head, P/N 81-979469-000 and 6 corner pulleys with any pneumatic control head. If other combinations of corner pulleys and lengths of cable are required, the 40 lb. maximum force and 14 inch maximum travel requirements must not be exceeded.
System actuation can be accomplished by three methods: 1. Automatic, via pneumatic heat actuated devices (for spaces which require no more than 300 lbs. of CO2). 2. Remote-manual, via cable or pneumatic releases. 3. Local-manual, via mechanical means at the storage cylinders themselves.

must be spaced every 20 to 30 feet apart at a height equal to approximately 1/3 the height of the space. Additional tiers of nozzles may be required for spaces with multiple levels. Strainers are provided with those nozzles having orifice sizes less than 6. A flange and cover assembly is also available for the flanged S nozzle. 2-12.3 Type M For large machinery spaces and pump rooms where greater quantities of CO2 are required, type M nozzles are utilized. Having a 3/4 inch NPT inlet connection, the M nozzle will accommodate flow rates up to 225 lbs./min. The nozzles must be spaced every 20 to 30 feet apart at a height equal to approximately 1/3 the height of the space. Additional tiers of nozzles may be required for spaces with multiple levels. Strainers are provided with those nozzles having orifice sizes less than 6. 2-13 PIPE AND FITTINGS
As an alternate to the cable operated system, Kidde Fire Systems. also offers a pneumatic actuation system. The system consists of a nitrogen actuation cylinder, which is connected to the CO2 pilot cylinders by pipe or tubing. Normally, the pneumatic system is used only when the maximum requirements for the cable system cannot be met. Limitations on pilot lines are shown in Table 2-4. Table 2-4. Actuation Line Limitations

Once the discharge nozzles have been selected and located, the distribution piping can be routed. The route utilizing the least amount of pipe and fittings must be used to minimize friction loss. The piping must extend at least two inches beyond the last nozzle of each nozzle header (branch line) to prevent clogging. All pipe and fittings must be galvanized inside and out. Pipe and fittings must be in accordance with 46 CFR Subchapter F, Parts 54 through 56 as follows: 2-13.1 Pipe Galvanized steel pipe shall conform to the following specifications: ASTM A-53 Type S (seamless) Grade A or B ASTM A-53 Type E (electric resistance welded) Grade A or B ASTM A-106 seamless Grade A, B or C

DISCHARGE NOZZLES
Kidde Fire Systems offers three basic types of total flooding type discharge nozzles: Type V, S, and M. 2-12.1 Type V Type V nozzles have a 1/2-inch NPT inlet connection and are generally used with electrical propulsion equipment and ventilation systems. The V nozzle can accommodate CO2 flow rates up to approximately 100 lbs./min. The nozzles must be spaced approximately 15 to 20 feet apart. The nozzle(s) should be strategically located to provide optimum CO2 distribution. A strainer is provided with V nozzles that have orifice codes less than 5 to prevent foreign objects in the pipe from clogging the nozzle orifice. A flange and cover assembly is available for ease of installation and to prevent foreign objects from entering the piping network. 2-12.2 Type S Type S nozzles also have a 1/2 inch NPT inlet connection, and are generally used with machinery spaces, pump rooms, etc. The S nozzle can accommodate CO2 flow rates up to approximately 100 lbs./min. In addition to the standard S nozzle, flanged and zinc plated versions are available where installation requirements dictate. The nozzles

For the purpose of this test, the piping must be capped within the protected space at the first joint upstream of the nozzles. For small, independent systems (e.g., protecting emergency generator rooms, paint lockers, etc.) the above test can be waived provided the piping is blown out with CO2, nitrogen or dry air of at least 100 psi and the cylinder is installed in the protected space. 2-15 PIPE AND NOZZLE SIZE CALCULATION
Alternate fitting materials, other than specified above, may be used provided the fitting meets or exceeds a 6000 psi burst pressure. Tapered thread pipe joints shall be in accordance with ANSI B120.1 for pipe diameters 2" and smaller. Butt-welded joints shall be in accordance with Section IX of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and 46CFR56.70 for pipe diameters 2-1/2" and larger. 2-13.3 Flanges Flanges shall conform to any of the following specifications as applicable: ASTM A-181 material composition for flanges designed to ANSI B16.5. ASTM A-182 TP304 or ASTM A-182 TP316 for material composition for forged stainless steel flanges designed to ANSI B16.5
To determine the proper discharge pipe and nozzle sizes, the following method must be followed: 1. Determine the appropriate amount of CO2 required for the space as described in Sections 2.2 through 2.6. 2. Calculate the nominal cylinder outlet area (sq. in.) by multiplying the lbs. of CO2 required by the factor 0.0022. The minimum nominal cylinder outlet area shall be 0.110 sq. in. 3. Using the amount of CO2 calculated in step 1, refer to Table 2-5 to determine the correct pipe size for each branch. 4. Using the size for the main supply pipe as determined in step 3, refer to Table 2-6 to obtain the internal area of that pipe size. 5. Calculate the equivalent nozzle orifice area by dividing 45% of the nominal cylinder outlet area (step 2) or 45% of the supply pipe area (step 4), whichever is smaller, by the total number of nozzles. 6. Referring to Table 2-10, compare the value calculated in Step 5 with the various equivalent nozzle areas available. Choose the closest area and corresponding orifice code number. 7. To calculate the total nozzle orifice area, multiply the equivalent nozzle area chosen in Step 6 by the total number of nozzles. The total equivalent nozzle orifice area should not exceed 85%, nor be less than 35% of the nominal cylinder outlet area (Step 2), or the area of the supply pipe (Step 4), whichever is smaller. Refer to Chapter 8 for an example of the calculation method.
Class 300 flanged joints are acceptable downstream of any stop valve or in systems not utilizing stop valves. Class 600 flanged joints shall be used upstream of any stop valve Gaskets, nuts and bolts shall be in accordance with ANSI B16.5. Alternate materials for flanges, gaskets, nuts and bolts, other than specified above, may be used provided each flange, gasket, nut or bolt complies with ASME B31.1 and the flange meets or exceeds a 6000 psi burst pressure.

Upon completion of the piping installation, a pressure test must be done on the piping network. Test with CO2, nitrogen, or dry air. The CO2 cylinders must be disconnected and the manifold inlets plugged. The piping from the cylinders to the directional (stop) valves must be pressurized to 1000 psi. With no additional gas being added, the pipe must maintain pressure for a two minute period. The maximum pressure loss permitted is 150 psi per minute.

CHAPTER 3 SYSTEM ARRANGEMENTS

3-1 GENERAL reduce the incident of problems during inspections and other periodic testing.
The USCG has different requirements for SOLAS class and non-SOLAS class vessels. SOLAS classification (compliance with SOLAS rules) is required for vessels that operate on international voyages. For guidance on applicability of regulations and order of precedence, please see the Foreword of this manual. The following schematics depict typical USCG approved system arrangements. These schematics will assist the designer in selecting the proper arrangement and components to best suit a particular application. Table 3-1 provides the designer with a general system arrangement overview for quick reference purposes. Each arrangement is provided with a sequence of events description to explain the primary method of system operation. 3-2 DISCHARGE DELAY UNITS The Kidde Fire Systems carbon dioxide system has traditionally used discharge delay units that use the extinguishing agent to generate the delay period of nominally 30 or 60 seconds. These units are still listed and approved and will remain available for the foreseeable future. However as a result of changes in the regulatory environment Kidde Fire Systems has included its nitrogen driven discharge delay unit in the carbon dioxide product line and arrangements for this edition of the manual. The nitrogen delay provides improved performance with a set-up that was configured to meet the current regulatory approach to acceptability criteria. The USCG follow NFPA 12 guidance on the acceptable tolerance for the actual discharge delay period observed during testing. This guidance requires the actual delay to be no less than the stated nominal delay period and no more than the nominal delay plus 20%. Local inspectors may accept CO2 delay units that exceed the positive end of the tolerance. One reason for this is the capability of discharge delay to be by-passed using the attached control head. However they are unlikely to accept a unit that cycles too quickly. In this chapter there are four new arrangements that illustrate alternative methods of system configuration using the nitrogen discharge delay units. Each of the new arrangements offers the same functionality. We recommend that the nitrogen delay be considered for new applications to

3-3 ARRANGEMENT NUMBER 1
Arrangement Number 1 is a system protecting a single space, requiring no more than 300 lb. of CO2. One, two, or three cylinders are required, with storage located outside the protected space. System actuation is accomplished by means of cable operation. An emergency method of operation is provided at the cylinder location. All the control heads are equipped with a manual operating lever with a lead wire sealed pull-pin to preclude accidental operation. In the event the cable operated pull-box fails to discharge the system, personnel can be instructed to activate the system via this manual operating lever. Primary system activation is accomplished using the remote located, cable pull box. After it has been verified that no personnel are in the space, the cable pull box is operated. This causes the cable control head located on the pilot CO2 cylinder to operate, causing the cylinder to discharge. The discharged CO2 is directed to a pressure operated switch, which shuts down ventilation and/or equipment, and then to a pneumatic operated siren (optional). The siren warns personnel of the simultaneous discharge. The agent is then directed into the space via the pipe and nozzle network.

3-5 ARRANGEMENT NUMBER 3A, WITH CO2 DISCHARGE DELAY
Arrangement Number 3A is designed for protection of a single space, requiring more than 300 lbs. of CO2. Three or more cylinders are required, with storage located outside the space. Actuation is accomplished pneumatically, using a nitrogen pilot cylinder. System actuation is initiated by operating the lever control head mounted on the nitrogen cylinder and opening the accompanying ball valve. The nitrogen pressure is transmitted to the pressure control heads located on the CO2 cylinders, causing the cylinders to discharge. The CO2 is discharged into the manifold, and is directed to the normally closed stop valve. A portion of the discharge is routed to the pressure switch, siren and discharge delay. This will cause the pressure switch to operate, and the alarm to sound. The time delay will begin to cycle, and upon completion, will open. This portion of the discharge will be routed to the lever/pressure control head on the stop valve, causing the stop valve to open. The main portion of the discharge will then pass through the stop valve and be directed to the nozzles. Personnel must be instructed to actuate the stop valve manually, by operating the lever/pressure control head in the event of a time delay failure. A safety relief is provided in the event the cylinders have discharged and the stop valve does not operate. If pressure buildup in the manifold becomes excessive, the safety relief will rupture, venting the pressure to the atmosphere.

4-4 REMOTE NITROGEN ACTUATOR
The remote nitrogen actuator is a 108 cubic inch cylinder pressurized to 1,800 psi. A lever operated control head is installed on the nitrogen cylinder valve for actuation purposes. A 1/4 inch ball valve is installed in the actuation piping downstream of the nitrogen cylinder. Once the lever operated control head and ball valve are opened, the nitrogen pressure is routed to the lever/pressure operated control head mounted on the pilot CO2 cylinders, discharging the system. The nitrogen cylinder is equipped with a pressure gauge and safety relief device.

The 1040 cu. in. and 2300 cu. in. pilot nitrogen system cylinders are comprised of seamless steel cylinders manufactured to Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements. The discharge valve is forged brass and has a nominal 5/8 discharge path. The assembly is installed without a siphon tube. The nominal charge pressure is 1800 PSIG at 70F (124 bar gauge at 21C). The valve is fitted with a safety burst disc to protect against over-pressurization. A horizontal axial threaded connection on the side of the valve is utilized for filling and for actuation. The threaded portion of the upper valve is where the discharge head is located (see Figure 4-11 and Table 4-1).
! WARNING
Pressurized (charged) cylinders are extremely hazardous and, if not handled properly, are capable of violent discharge. This could result in death, personal injury or property damage. Always handle charged cylinders according to the instructions in this manual and applicable federal codes. Pilot nitrogen cylinders (1040 and 2300 cu. in.) are factory-equipped with a protection cap threaded securely over the valve assembly. The device is a safety feature and provides protection during shipping and handling. The cap must be installed at all times, except when the cylinder is connected into the system piping or is being filled. Do not move or handle a cylinder unless the protection cap is installed. Ensure that the protection cap is retained in a safe place close to the installed cylinder on the vessel.

GENERAL
This section contains installation instructions for Kidde Fire Systems. fixed carbon dioxide systems as well as hose reel and rack systems. Please refer to Section 4 for component descriptions and corresponding part numbers. Equipment installation shall be such that the components are located and arranged to facilitate inspection, testing, recharging and any other required maintenance that may be necessary. Components must not be located where they will be subject to severe weather conditions, mechanical, chemical, or other damage which could render them inoperative. 5-2 DISCHARGE PIPE, TUBING AND FITTINGS
Pipe, tubing and fittings must be installed in strict accordance with the system drawings and good commercial practices. The piping between the cylinders and discharge nozzles must be the shortest route possible, with a minimum of fittings. Any deviations in the routing or number of fittings must be approved by the design engineer prior to installation. Piping must be reamed free of burrs and ridges after cutting, welding, or threading. All threaded joints must conform to ANSI B1-20.1. Joint compound tape or thread must be applied only to the male threads of the joint, excluding the first two threads. Welding must be in accordance with Section IX of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Each pipe section must be swabbed clean, using a nonflammable organic compound. All piping must be blown out with dry nitrogen, carbon dioxide, or compressed air prior to installing the discharge nozzles. Dirt traps must be installed at the end of each nozzle header, or branch line. Test manifold and piping in accordance with the requirements in Section 2-14. The piping system must be securely braced to account for discharge reaction forces and thermal expansion/contraction. Care must be taken to ensure the piping is not subjected to vibration, mechanical, or chemical damage. Refer to ANSI B-31.1 for additional bracing requirements. 5-3 PNEUMATIC ACTUATION PIPE AND TUBING

Pressure switches must be connected to the pilot piping or discharge manifolds as shown on the system drawings. The preferred mounting position is upright, as shown on Figures 5-1, 5-2, and 5-3. Both the standard and explosion-proof pressure switches have 1/2 inch NPT pressure inlets to connect to the piping. The electrical connections are either 1/2 inch conduit knockouts or 1 inch NPT fittings. 5-18 DISCHARGE TIME DELAY
The time delays are pre-set at the factory; however the actual delay period is dependant on the specific installation, ambient temperatures and the test methodology. USCG requires that a time delay must be tested during commissioning and inspection. To meet the pass criteria, the tested delay period must fall in the range minus zero percent and plus twenty percent (-0%, +20%) of the factory rated value. This range is based on the guidance provided in NFPA 12:2000 Standard on Carbon Dioxide Extinguishing Systems. USCG recognizes that the range of installation configurations coupled with the inherent variability of metered carbon dioxide as a timing medium make compliance with this specification challenging. In general some allowance may be granted for delay periods that exceed the twenty-percent figure since the time delay unit (P/N 81-871071-000, or P/N 81-897636-000) can be bypassed using the lever operated control head (P/N 870652). Delay periods less than the factory rated value are not acceptable since they potentially compromise the safe egress of personnel from the protected space. The improved reliability of the N2 driven units make such consessions unnecessary.

SEMI-ANNUAL WEIGHING OF CARBON DIOXIDE CYLINDERS.

! WARNING
THE CARBON DIOXIDE CYLINDERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH A HIGH RATE DISCHARGE VALVE, WHICH WHEN ACTUATED, WILL OPEN, REMAIN OPEN AND CANNOT BE CLOSED. ACCIDENTAL ACTUATION OF THE DISCHARGE VALVE ON AN UNSECURED, DISCONNECTED CYLINDER WILL RESULT IN A DISCHARGE THRUST CAPABLE OF PROPELLING THE CYLINDER TO VELOCITIES THAT WILL CAUSE SEVERE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND BODILY INJURY. IT IS, THEREFORE, EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE EXACT SEQUENCE OF CYLINDER REMOVAL ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED. FURTHER CYLINDER REMOVAL OR CYLINDER REPLACEMENT MUST ALWAYS BE SUPERVISED TO ASSURE FULL COMPLIANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Remove control head at the coupling nut only (if control head not present, proceed to Step 3). Attach protection cap to the actuation port. Loosen cylinder framing so that cylinders can move freely. Hook scale on weighing angle and slip yoke under discharge head. Adjust lever as shown in attached diagram (Figure 7-1). Pull down until cylinder is just clear of floor and lever is horizontal. Read weight directly off scale (scale is calibrated to compensate for leverage). Empty cylinder weight is stamped on the cylinder valve body; therefore, deduct empty weight from scale reading. Also, deduct 3.75lbs for weight of discharge head. The result is the amount (charge weight) of liquid carbon dioxide in the cylinder. If charge weight loss exceeds 10%, proceed as follows:
7.
a.
Disconnect discharge head from cylinder valve (DISCHARGE HEAD MUST BE LEFT CONNECTED TO THE DISCHARGE HOSE AND SYSTEM PIPING TO PREVENT INJURY IN THE EVENT OF DISCHARGE).

! WARNING
WHEN DISCONNECTING CONTROL HEADS (TANDEM MOUNTED) DO NOT LET THE HEADS TURN (IF INTERCONNECTING CABLE HOUSING IS A LOOSE FIT), THIS WILL PREVENT ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE. Pneumatic Control Head Test 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Connect the test fitting of the manometer test set to the diaphragm chamber of the control head. Make certain sufficient clearance is provided at mounting unit so control head will not be damaged upon operation. If control head has been operated, reset by placing screwdriver in reset stem and, turning clockwise until stem locks in position (with arrow on reset stem lined up with SET arrow on nameplate). Use manometer test set P/N WK-840041-000 (see Figure 7-2) and pour water into the open tube until the water level in both tubes is exactly at the zero mark. (The test set is not furnished as part of the system). Close off the rubber A by squeezing tightly with the fingers or use a crimp clamp, and then apply pressure by gradually squeezing the rubber bulb C. The control head must operate at the factory pressure setting plus or minus the 10% tolerance allowed. The pressure required to operate the control head is the difference, in
P/N 220610

inches, between the water levels in the two tubes, and is equal to twice the reading of either tube, i.e., 3 inches both tubes or 1-1/2 inches on one tube.
! CAUTION
After the control head has operated, be sure to release rubber tube A first before allowing the rubber bulb C to expand to normal; otherwise water may be sucked into the tubing and control head, causing serious problems.

CONTROL HEAD VENT TEST
Before disconnecting manometer from the control head, the vent must be tested. To test the vent for correct calibration, perform the following steps: 1. Squeeze rubber bulb C about halfway or enough to achieve sufficient vacuum for test, then close tube A by pinching with fingers or crimp clamp.
P/N 220610
7-6
November 2008

2. Let bulb expand gradually to its normal shape. This creates a partial vacuum, causing the water level to change, indicating inches of vacuum applied to the control head (the vacuum must be more than a minimum of 3 inches in order to observe drop from 3 inches to 1 inch). The water column will recede to 0 level as air passes through the vent. The time required (number of seconds) for the water column to recede 2 inches reading from 3 inches to 1 inch on both legs or 1 1/2 inch to 1/2 inch on either leg is the number of the vent (the calibrated rate of flow), i.e., if the time required to pass the above amount of water is 5 seconds the control head vent is No. 5. When vents are tested, the time will vary due to the added volume in the control head diaphragm chamber. A No. 5 vent may test at 5-7 seconds, which is acceptable. If a vent time reads much higher, it will increase system sensitivity and may not be acceptable. Table 7-2 shows the acceptable times allowed when testing for vent sensitivity using manometer method with vent installed in the control head. Table 7-2. Pneumatic Control Head Calibration Chart Control Head Vent Setting 40 seconds 20 seconds 10 seconds 5 seconds Allowable Time (Seconds) 40 - 60 20 - 27 10 - 15 5-7
3.
Repeat above procedure for testing tandem control head if installed. Since there is no vent in the tandem control head, the vacuum must hold (same as tubing tightness test). 4. Disconnect manometer test set from the control head (test fitting A). Reset the control head by turning the reset stem to its SET position. For accuracy, Kidde Fire Systems manometer test set, P/N WK-840041-000, must be used. TEST FOR LEAKAGE OF SYSTEM TUBING AND DETECTORS 1. 2. Connect the test fitting of the manometer to the pneumatic detector tubing (at the control head connection nut). Squeeze the rubber bulb C fully and then close off the open rubber tube A. Very gradually, release the rubber bulb to its normal shape. This will cause the water level in the two tubes to change, at which time a maximum vacuum will develop. Hold a minimum 8 inch vacuum (difference between two sides of U tube, or 4 inches on each side of U tube). If all connections are absolutely tight, the water level will remain in the position taken in item 2 above and will not change as long as the rubber tube A is held closed. Observe the level of the water for at least one minute and then release the rubber tube A. It is absolutely essential that the water level remain the same as long as the rubber tube is held closed. Even a slow, steady fall of the water level is serious, for it indicates a leak which may prevent automatic operation of the system. Disconnect the test set from the detector tubing. After tests have been completed, reset the control heads.

4. Functional Test of System. Hold a container of hot or boiling water under the heat detector, immersing the actuating chamber in the water. At least 50% of the detector must be immersed. The water must be at least 100F above the ambient temperature. Note the time between the application of the hot water to the detector and the operation of the control head. The control head must operate in approximately 15 seconds. Do not apply heat for more than 15 seconds. The detector is not functioning if the control head has not operated within this time. When testing two control heads connected in tandem, both may not operate simultaneously. Both control heads must operate within 15 seconds if the heat is sustained. 5. The heat test must be performed on each heat detector. Between each test, wait about five minutes for the system to return to normal, and then reset the control head. To reset, insert screwdriver in the reset stem and turn clockwise until the stem locks in position with the arrow or reset stem lining up with the SET arrow on the nameplate (slight resistance will be met just before the stem locks). If the application of heat does not cause the control head to operate within 15 seconds, remove the container of water and investigate cause:
6.
a. Heat differential was inadequate. b. Leakage in the tubing system (tubing connections not tight). c. Obstruction in the tubing.
7-10 TROUBLESHOOTING OF PNEUMATIC DETECTION SYSTEM
Failure of system to operate pneumatic detection system testing when applying heat to the detectors may be caused by: insufficient heat applied, obstructions in tubing, or leaks in system. The manometer can be used to assist in troubleshooting the system a follows: 1. Install manometer in system tubing at pneumatic control head connection. Replace union connection with a control heat T. Close open tube A of the manometer (see Figure 7-2) with crimp clamp. The manometer is now an integral part of the system and provides a visual record of pressure to which system is subjected by heat or cold at the detector. The installation of the manometer as described above provides a visual indication of the pressure buildup within the system and will assist in determining if there is sufficient or insufficient pressure buildup during test of the system.

CHAPTER 8 SAMPLE CO2 CALCULATIONS

8-1 GENERAL This section describes the calculation methods that are used to determine the quantity of CO2 required as well as pipe and nozzle sizes. These methods are the same as those described in the US Coast Guard Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 6-72, Part II. Example (See Figure 8-1) To illustrate the calculation methods, assume that the protected enclosure is a machinery space with a volume of 12,000 ft3. From Section 2-15 Step 1: Determine CO2 quantity required, refer to Sections 2-2 through 2-6. From Table 2-1 for 12,000 ft3, use flooding factor = 20 ft3/ lb: Qty = Volume/Flooding factor Qty = 12,000 ft3/20 ft3/lb. Qty = 600 lbs. CO2 From Section 2-15, Step 2: A. Calculate the Nominal Cylinder Area: Nom. Cylinder Area = Qty CO2 x 0.0022 Nom. Cylinder Area = 600 lbs x 0.0022 Nom. Cylinder Area = 1.32 in2 B. Determine Supply Pipe Area: The minimum supply pipe for 600 lbs. CO2 = 1-1/4" pipe (Table 2-5). Internal pipe area of 1-1/4" pipe = 1.283 in2 (See Table 2-6). C. Compare the nominal cylinder outlet area to the supply pipe and select the smaller of the two. In this example, the supply pipe area is smaller; therefore, the nozzle orifice area must be based on this smaller value of 1.283 in2.
From Section 2.15, Step 5: A. Select the nozzle orifice sizes by multiplying the area selected in Step 2C above by 45%; then divide by the total number of nozzles. In this case, assume (4) nozzles of equal size: (1.283 x .45)/4 = 0.144in2/nozzle
From Section 2.15, Step 6: A. Then, select the nozzle with the closest equivalent single orifice area (see Table 2-7): Use Code 14 with area = 0.1503 in2
November 2008
8-1
P/N 220610

B. Calculate total equivalent nozzle orifice area:
0.1503 in2 x 4 = 0.6012 in2 From Section 2.15, Step 7: A. Calculate the percent total nozzle orifice area to supply pipe area: Supply Pipe Area % = 0.6012 in2 x 100% = 46.9% of supply pipe area 1.283 in2 B. Compare the calculated percent total nozzle orifice area to the minimum 35% and maximum 85% allowed. Since the calculated value in this example falls within the stated range the nozzle selection is satisfactory. If the calculated value falls outside of this range, the nozzles must be resized until the calculated value does satisfy this criteria. % = Total Nozzle Orifice Area x 100%
From Section 2.15, Step 8 Determine Pipe Sizes: A. The quantity of CO2 delivered by each nozzle can be assumed to be directly proportional to the ratio of the individual nozzle orifice area to the total nozzle orifice area multiplied by the quantity of CO2 supplied. In this example, all four nozzles are the same size and can be considered to deliver an equal amount of CO2: 600 lbs/4 = 150 lbs/nozzle B. Determine the quantity of CO2 carried by each pipe section, then select a pipe size for each pipe section using Table 2-5:

D-4 "Y" CHECK VALVE
The "Y" check valve is used to isolate two carbon dioxide cylinders from a larger bank of cylinders in a cargo-hold suppression system. This allows one to discharge two cylinders at a time in a multiple cylinder installation.
Figure D-2. "Y" Check Valve, P/N 800759 D-5 THROTTLE CHECK VALVE
The throttle check valve is a combination tee and check valve used to isolate two pilot cylinders in a cargo-hold suppression system. The installation of this device allows one to discharge two cylinders at a time without operating the pilot cylinders and causing a discharge of all cylinders.
